Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinomas comprise approximately 1% of all salivary gland neoplasms. They are preponderantly tumors of the parotid glands with a relatively low mortality but a decided locoregional aggressiveness. Histopathologically, the carcinomas are characterized by a dual cell population of epithelial (ductal) cells and myoepithelial cells. These cells vary in their dominance and phenotypic expression.
上皮-肌上皮癌约占所有涎腺肿瘤的1%。它们主要发生于腮腺，死亡率相对较低，但具有明显的局部区域侵袭性。在组织病理学上，这些癌的特征是上皮（导管）细胞和肌上皮细胞的双细胞群。这些细胞在其优势和表型表达方面各不相同。
